Thread: Breaking News: Vikings Agree to Trade Percy Harvin to Seattle

We might overpay for Mike Wallace. Which would be bittersweet. We would finally see what Ponder can do. If he can't throw the deep ball, bring in a Big Ben / Flacco type. Not as ideal as Cruz, but I still love the move. Most likely we do some sneaky trading in the draft. End up with Hopkins or Keenan Allen. Then sign one of either Danny Amendola or Brandon Gibson.

I think we were forced to trade Harvin - and Seattle will not get the value from him they think they will....like Rice.

I think that we will have a hard time replacing Harvin on the talent side of things, and I don't really think our Coaching Staff is up to the task of developing a top tier receiver.

And I also believe that our 1st Round QB has played woefully short of where he should be. Until he steps up, it doesn't matter who the receivers are.

Big Ben/Flacco types don't just grow on trees.

The best all around player I ever seen or you'll ever see! Goes to Seattle! I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach. Several times!!

Our best player feels like the organization just kicked him in the gut several times, and our 2nd best player just got traded. It's hard for me to a put a positive spin on this.

No they don't. But I imagine that we would probably try to acquire a big arm if Ponder couldn't get the ball to Wallace. Especially if we overpaid him. Knowing the Vikings though.... that big arm could be a 50 year old Jeff George.

Agreed with pretty much all of that. Only thing I'm not confident in there is Seattle not getting their value out of Harvin, I hope you're right on that one.

Now that Harvin is back with Bevell you can bet the migraines start back up.

I wanted him to stay a Viking but I knew we would get good value for him. I wish we would of traded him to the AFC

Per @dannyoneil, whom I just inadvertently gave a wildly wrong weight for Percy Harvin (190, not 220), the 2014 pick is a 3rd-rounder. Wow.

#Vikings will get a third-round pick for Percy Harvin in 2014, in addition to a first- and seventh-rounder this year, I'm told.
------------------------------------------------------------------
1st and a 7th this year and a 3rd rounder next year looks like the offical haul.

He did have hernia surgery.....it could just be some complications 8-o

Third rounder next year is pretty huge. I think we got a better deal for Harvin than the Dolphins got for Marshall last year(2 third round picks).
I don't like trading our best players, but I like getting maximum value in return.
